Inspiración

I think this is a great movie, I am Mexican, thus i really get the point of the movie, i find that it really represents a Mexican situation of dating, and that kind of things.

Its a great romantic movie, but at the same time its a great comedy, you laugh all the time, i love Arath De la Torre's actuation, i found it really original and very comic In a simple way. Rodrigo Oviedo's actuation, as Gabriel friend, is also great.. its the first movie I see both of them and like the just natural touch they have.

I really recommend this movie. You will find a different romance / comedy movie, In which you will also get different kind of messages not just the love story but family relations.

This was a comedy with melodrama acting, it made sense that it was weird, odd and original. No it wasn't the best movie i've seen but it's a great movie. When I see a foreign movie I don't identify the Place by the characters. Just like "Y Tu Mama Tambien" Mexicans don't usually jerk off in pools and have sex with their best friends. To me this movie was a sample of some kids being kids, immature at times yet at the same time in the middle of being adults and trying to share their new experiences with their old friends. When the main character tried to share his poems with his buddies, you can relate to that and at the same time you know that the guy that made fun of him wasn't going to be his long time friend, it has happened to all of us. Case in point,it's a comedy don't take it so seriously and its a movie, lighten up.

Bárbara Mori stars in her motion picture debut as Alejandra. Alejandra is the object of desire of Gabriel (Arath de la Torre), whom he sees by chance at a nightclub while on a blind date his friend set up for him. Gabriel knows nothing about Alejandra except for her name, which he asked her before she made a hasty exit.

Afterwards, Gabriel is consumed by her and can not stop thinking of her. He writes some poetry or verses to a song he is trying to write about her, which is why I guess this movie is called Inspiración (or Inspiration in English). Eventually, Gabriel runs into Alejandra again and this time, he follows her to her home and actually meets her. Soon they are dating but Gabriel wants more of the relationship than Alejandra, and it ends before it really gets started. The rest of the movie is spent with Gabriel chasing Alejandra around trying to win her over.

This movie, in reality, is a romance, or as I have heard it put here, something like a Mexican soap opera (I have never seen one so I can not say for myself). It tries to be a comedy as much as a romantic story but falls hard in that category. I laughed out loud once. Thankfully, it did not rely on the comedy to keep the viewer interested.

Truthfully, I watched this movie only because Bárbara Mori is in it. I may as well be as smitten as Gabriel was but I have only seen her in Maxim magazine and wanted to see her act, which she does quite well. Hopefully, we will see more of Bárbara in the coming years as she has the beauty and the talent to become successful.

Arath de la Torre was a decent actor, but his attempts a comedy were extremely forced, such as in Who's Your Daddy. It was a little over the top and the whole story was missing something I can not quite put my finger on. Worth a rental if you do not mind subtitles. 6/10

In the end, this movie will leave a smile on your face. "Inspiracion" is a great romantic comedy with good acting, a beautiful lead actress (Barbara Mori has to be the one of the prettiest Latin woman nowadays), and an entertaining -but predictable- plot.

I must say that I'm not the kind of guy that enjoys, cries, or whispers after watching a romantic movie... but I enjoyed this one, and I don't feel guilty.

Have a good time and watch "Inspiración". It's a must see for everyone!!

I wish all my dates would end like this!

I mean, the plot is oriented for the upper social classes in México let me tell you. The places where the couple visit are really expensive and exclusive but I guess the director's intention was to display how love can come across all barriers.

Barbara Mori is simply spectacular on her looks; she's extremely sexy, hot and she can also act. The chemistry between her and De la Torre worked perfect for the movie because it looked like both had a great time working together.

I can recommend this movie for a first date; it will do some magic. Otherwise, just watch it when it airs on t.v. it's not worth your money.

"Inspiración" is part of México's new way of making romantic comedies.
